The Ottawa Senators no longer have to deal with the pressure of getting coach Dave Cameron his first victory, but they are feeling some heat from the Buffalo Sabres, who look to take another step closer to escaping the Atlantic Division basement Monday night. Viewers in the Senators region can catch all of the action live on TSN5 at 7pm et or listen to the action on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa with coverage beginning at 5pm et. Cameron took over last Monday following the firing of Paul MacLean, and his tenure began with a 5-3 defeat to Los Angeles. The Senators (12-12-5), though, regrouped with a 3-2 shootout victory at Boston on Saturday, twice erasing one-goal deficits before Mika Zibanejad and Bobby Ryan converted their shootout attempts. You know youre in the business of winning. Its a case where youre preaching a certain style of play, and until you get that first win, theres probably always a bit of doubt or maybe a little bit of gray area, whether it works or does work, Cameron said. So it was great to get the win, for sure. Zibanejad also scored Ottawas first goal, giving him five in his last six games to go with three assists. David Legwand continued his strong recent play by netting his third power-play goal in four contests, and five of his six goals have come with the man advantage. Simple. Obviously there werent too many turnovers and playing simple and keeping the odd-man rushes down to a minimum, Legwand said about how the Senators found success. We want to stick with that for the full 60 (minutes) night in and night out and give yourself a chance to win night in and night out. Cameron said Sunday that Robin Lehner will make the start after turning aside 29 shots and two shootout attempts Saturday. He has won back-to-back starts once this season - his first two - and is 0-1-1 in two lifetime starts against the Sabres. Buffalo (12-16-2) has won nine of 12 since its disastrous start to draw within three points of Ottawa for seventh in the Atlantic. The Sabres are seeking their first six-game home winning streak since Jan. 17-Feb. 15, 2007, after a 4-3 overtime win over Florida on Saturday that was also their third consecutive victory overall. The team feels good about themselves, coach Ted Nolan said. Theyre playing hard for one another and when you do that good things happen. So right now, knock on wood, things are going good for us. Nikita Zadorovs first goal of the season 29 seconds into the extra period capped his first career multipoint game, with the 19-year-old logging more than 23 minutes after injuries to Andrej Meszaros and Josh Gorges left Buffalo with four healthy defensemen. I probably never had that big a goal in my life, Zadorov said. Its a great feeling and Im going to try to do it again. The improved play of Jhonas Enroth has been pivotal in Buffalos revival. Hes gone 8-2-0 with a 2.04 goals-against average in his last 10 starts after going 1-8-1 with a 3.77 GAA in his first 10. Enroth, though, has posted an 0-2-1 and 2.93 goals-against average in his last three starts against Ottawa after winning his first three with a 2.27 GAA. Additionally, Nolan will have to plug some holes on his backline since the injuries to Meszaros and Gorges will keep them out of this game. That means more ice time for Zadorov and Andre Benoit, who spent his first two seasons with the Senators. Ottawa went 3-0-1 against Buffalo last season as the teams combined to score only 11 goals and go 1 for 31 on the power play. Wholesale Air Max .

Less than 48 hours after the July 1 free agency window opened, the Raptors reached an agreement with their star point guard Kyle Lowry, bringing him back to Toronto for four more years at a reported $48 million, according to several outlets and confirmed by Lowry himself over Twitter. "Toronto will be my home city," the 28-year-old tweeted Wednesday evening, along with a picture of himself decked out in retro Raptors gear. The deal has an early termination option in the final year, allowing Lowry to become an unrestricted free agent after the third season if he chooses. Although the contract has been agreed to in principle, it cant be signed or made official until the NBAs moratorium period is lifted on July 10. Lowry spent the day mulling over Torontos offer and weighing his options with his family and agent after meeting with Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri and head coach Dwane Casey Tuesday afternoon in his hometown of Philadelphia. The Raptors point guard was visited by members of the Rockets front office, also receiving interest from the Heat and Mavericks. Ultimately, he opted to return to the team he helped lead to a division title, at a significant pay raise from what he was making when he enjoyed a career season in 2013-14. Earning $6.2 million last year, Lowry registered career-highs of 17.9 points, 7.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds while narrowly missing out on what would have been his first all-star selection during a breakout campaign with the Raptors. Entering his prime, the eight-year vet will be the eighth highest paid point guard in the league next season after finishing third in Win Shares among players at his position last year. His new contract will be more than twice the size of his previous one, a four-year, $23.5 million deal signed in 2010. Lowry has earned a total of $28.8 million over the first eight years of his career. Although a deserved raise played a role in his decision to re-sign - the Raptors had the advantage of being able to pay him more than any other team - Lowry became entrenched as a leader with the team both on the court and in the locker room, endearing himself to the city with his hard play. "At the end of the day its still a business and you have to be a businessman for the situation that youre in," he had said the afternoon after his team was eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs.dddddddddddd "But I am very happy. This has been one of the best seasons Ive had, through and through. Best coaches, teammates, [front office]. Its been great. I am happy. Without a doubt I can say Im happy." "I love this place," he continued. "I love the situation. Its simple as that." For that very reason his return was hardly in doubt, though Raptors fans are generally conditioned to hope for the best and fear for the worst. The Raptors front office, coaching staff and even Lowrys teammates remained confident a deal would get done throughout the process but he did have other viable options to consider, given his desire to compete for a championship and his status as this summers most coveted point guard. Bringing him back, amid the long-time perception that players dont want to be in Toronto, is a major coup for a Raptors franchise that is determined to change their culture under the leadership of Ujiri and MLSE boss Tim Leiweke. The Raptors acquired Lowry in a trade from Houston during the summer of 2012 after he fell out of favour with Rockets coach Kevin McHale. Despite a turbulent first season in Toronto, one that saw him battle injury and feud with Coach Casey, Lowry came to training camp in the best shape of his playing career and took his game to a new level after a pre-season meeting with Ujiri sparked his competitive nature. With the Raptors contemplating a rebuild following the December trade of Rudy Gay, Lowrys best friend, Ujiri nearly moved the point guard in a deal that would have sent him to New York. Fuelled by Lowrys breakout, the resurgent Raptors continued to win and Ujiri slowly became a believer. Last season, Ujiris first at the helm of the Raptors, was always supposed to be a "show me" year for Lowry. Ujiri had always promised to be fair to Lowry and maintained he would be given the platform to sink or swim. Like any other investment, Lowry is a calculated risk but the Raptors are betting the 2013-14 version will be more of the norm than an anomaly going forward. Prioritizing continuity this offseason, Ujiri can now shift his focus to re-signing restricted free agents Patrick Patterson and Greivis Vasquez, both of whom should attract varying degrees of interest on the open market. If retained, the Raptors wont have much more than their mid-level exception to spend and could flirt with the luxury tax this coming season. ' ' '
